Behavioural Profile (DISC)

Understand how people prefer to behave and communicate

Why is the Behavioural Profile one of our most popular assessments?

Is it because it’s a simple – yet uncannily accurate – assessment of a person’s strengths, motivators, preferred communication styles and workplace behaviour?

Or is it because it only takes 10 minutes to complete, but gives invaluable information about how a person will behave if you hire them – so you can assess how well their personality fits the role requirements?

Or perhaps it’s because it helps teams work together more effectively by assessing how everyone prefers to behave and interact with each other and helping each team member improve the way they communicate and collaborate?

Whatever the reason, one thing is certain: whether you’re hiring new employees or wanting to build more effective teams, the Revelian Behavioural Profile will give you deep insight into each person’s unique behavioural style.

What can I learn from a behavioural profile?

Would you hire a salesperson who prefers not talk to people? An accountant who finds paying attention to detail tedious and boring?

We already know that the best predictor of future job performance is a person’s level of cognitive ability. But this can be undermined if your new employees don’t have the right behavioural style for the role, or don’t fit in well with your existing teams.

The assessment gives you detailed insights into each person’s:

Strengths

Development areas

Communication style

Motivators

Decision-making style

Ideal manager and management style

Behaviour when working in a team

Communication preferences, and much more.

It also provides a clear road map on how to best manage an employee and help them reach their full potential. This makes it easier to bridge the gap between recruitment and on-boarding.

When should I use the Behavioural Profile assessment?

When recruiting new employees

You can ask shortlisted candidates to complete the behavioural profile before they attend an interview. This gives you a nice snapshot of their personality and preferred styles, and you can raise any questions or concerns about their answers during the interview.

And – if you end up hiring the candidate – the behavioural profile report is an excellent tool to help the new hire with their on-boarding. You can give a copy of the report to his or her new manager to help them understand their new employee more quickly and understand how to motivate and manage them more effectively.

When developing your current employees

Imagine how much your employees and teams could benefit from a better understanding of how they prefer to behave at work: what motivates them, their strengths, their areas for development, and how they currently adapt their natural preferences to perform their current role.

People are more effective when they understand themselves: how they prefer to behave at work and the kinds of situations they might find challenging.
And teams are more collaborative and impactful when they understand each person’s preferences and differences, and how to relate to people who have significantly different styles to themselves.
